Use this interactive demo to learn how to send a Giphy GIF directly in a Slack message.

Quick summary

The Giphy integration in Slack lets you search and share animated GIFs inside any channel or direct message using a simple slash command. In just a few steps, you can find the perfect GIF, shuffle results until satisfied, and send it instantly to your conversation.


Steps

  1. Type the /giphy command in the Slack chatbox and select "Find and share a gif" from the command options list.
  2. Describe your gif using keywords in the search field and click the Search button to retrieve matching results.
  3. If the results are not a good fit, click the Shuffle option to generate more GIF options until you find the right one.
  4. Once you are happy with a GIF, select it to confirm your choice and prepare it for sending.
  5. Your chosen GIF is sent to the Slack conversation and appears instantly for all participants to see.

📌 Why this matters

Adding Giphy to Slack makes team communication more expressive and engaging by letting users instantly search and share animated GIFs inside any channel or direct message. The native /giphy slash command removes the need for external tools, keeping workflows fast and within Slack's interface. For teams that rely on Slack for daily collaboration, GIF sharing helps humanize conversations and boost morale without disrupting productivity. This lightweight integration is especially valuable for remote and distributed teams looking to build culture and connection through everyday messaging.
